Paul Kalverda
"As a graduate of Niagara College, I am glad I made that choice to enroll. My time there was both fun and educational and the teachers and students were great. You can also look forward to excellent computer facilities open for programming students almost exclusively. I now manage a computer department, which by the way, the company was looking specifically for Niagara College grads. So work hard and enjoy your stay at Niagara because your hard work will pay off!"

Robin Albanese
"I enjoyed taking the Computer Programmer program because of the many areas of programming it covered. It gives samples of the most up to date techniques and technologies being used in the IT Industry. I would recommend this program to anyone... not just someone who is interested in programming, but anyone with a general interest in computers."

Ellen Vriend
"I graduated from the Computer Programmer Analyst program at Niagara College in December 2000. When I started this program I had very little knowledge of computers. This program gave me the knowledge and hands-on training for programming in multiple languages, networking tasks, hardware and software installation and configuration. The professors are very knowledgeable and experienced. They treated me as an individual, and were there to help when needed. With this education and work experience during my co-op term, I was able to find a job within days after graduation. I am currently working as a Systems Administrator for a fast growing company in St. Catharines."

Jason McCombs
"When I first started the Computer Programmer Analyst program in 1998, I knew almost nothing about computers. This was not a problem. From the first day they took our class through all the basics, and by the time the program was finished everyone was able to do some kind of programming. The courses were challenging, but very good for developing the skills required to make it in the IT industry. As well, the professors were very kind and helpful with teaching students how to do the work. There is no better place to pick up your Computer Programmer diploma than Niagara College, simply for the fact that the teachers are second to none in the way they help and teach the students."

Richard Penner
"This program provides a great foundation for any student wishing to pursue a career in this high-demand field. The curriculum is current, the instructors are first-rate, and the breadth and depth of the program has amazed everyone I've talked to - including students at other colleges. Any student successfully completing this program will find many doors open upon graduation - I sure did!"
